I am a weekend warrior!! Its official. I’d always thought I was an old git who liked standing on a tennis court with his mates talking about football before heading off for coffee and cakes. But no, I am WEEKEND WARRIOR!!!! a new class of beast that comes complete with its own exclamation marks. Said – Read More-
There’s a new movie out either now or this week, not sure, been away, lost track. Its called La La Land and its a musical rom-com. Which is a brave movie to make, at massive cost, as the musical genre is kind’a done and over for decades. And most attempts to try and revive it – Read More-
I’m going back to work tomorrow. If I can get in. The tube strikers have conspired to increase my holiday by calling a 24 hour strike from tonight til tomorrow night. They’re striking for… errr… well, they’re striking for ‘safety of the travellers’. Probably. That’s the normal reason. And you can’t complain about that, can – Read More-
Arrived home yesterday morning at about 9. Managed to stay awake all day, then crashed about 10. Bed. Turned on my Kindle, nah, not tonight, turned off my Kindle and disappeared from the world of the conscious. Woke up at 2, Mel was already awake, slept til 4.

I want to know how we’ll be able to discern this new wave from the old wave(s). At what point does Paris, Nice, Berlin become Istanbul? Are they different? Are some – Read More-
Ok another reason for loving India. This a really big, really profound one, transcending the normal, the cultural, even the spiritual. This is a big one. Since we’ve been here Spurs have played two matches. And won them both. By the same score. 4-1. Big wins. Dominating performances. Great results against at very least ‘stubborn’ – Read More-
I think I’ve ‘gone native’. A week in India, soaking up their history, eating their food, living their culture, its actually happened.
